README
gvm
===
gvm is a Go version manager. gvm installs a Go version and prints the commands
to configure your environment to use it. gvm can install Go binary versions from
https://storage.googleapis.com/golang or build it from source. Below are
examples for common shells.
bash:
`eval "$(gvm 1.23.4)"`
cmd.exe (for batch scripts `%i` should be substituted with `%%i`):
`FOR /f "tokens=*" %i IN ('"gvm.exe" 1.23.4') DO %i`
powershell:
`gvm --format=powershell 1.23.4 | Invoke-Expression`
gvm flags can be set via environment variables by setting `GVM_`. For
example `--http-timeout` can be set via `GVM_HTTP_TIMEOUT=10m`.
Installation
------------
You can download a binary release of `gvm` for your specific platform from the
[releases](https://github.com/andrewkroh/gvm/releases) page. Then just put the
binary in your `PATH` and mark it as executable (`chmod +x gvm`).
You must adjust the version and platform info in URLs accordingly.
Linux (amd64):
``` bash
# Linux Example (assumes ~/bin is in PATH).
curl -sL -o ~/bin/gvm https://github.com/andrewkroh/gvm/releases/download/v0.5.2/gvm-linux-amd64
chmod +x ~/bin/gvm
eval "$(gvm 1.23.4)"
go version
```
Linux (arm64):
``` bash
# Linux Example (assumes ~/bin is in PATH).
curl -sL -o ~/bin/gvm https://github.com/andrewkroh/gvm/releases/download/v0.5.2/gvm-linux-arm64
chmod +x ~/bin/gvm
eval "$(gvm 1.23.4)"
go version
```
macOS (universal):
``` bash
# macOS Example
curl -sL -o /usr/local/bin/gvm https://github.com/andrewkroh/gvm/releases/download/v0.5.2/gvm-darwin-all
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gvm
eval "$(gvm 1.23.4)"
go version
```
Windows (PowerShell):
```
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = "tls12"
Invoke-WebRequest -URI https://github.com/andrewkroh/gvm/releases/download/v0.5.2/gvm-windows-amd64.exe -Outfile C:\Windows\System32\gvm.exe
gvm --format=powershell 1.23.4 | Invoke-Expression
go version
```
Fish Shell:
Use `gvm` with fish shell by executing `gvm 1.23.4 | source` in lieu of using `eval`.
For existing Go users:
`go install github.com/andrewkroh/gvm/cmd/[email protected]`
